COMPOUND METAL-WORKING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 579,592, dated March 30, 1897. Application filed September 26, 1896. Serial No. 607j04=2. (N0 model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY F. LAST, a citi zen of the United States, and a resident of the town of Emmett, in the county of Dodge and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compound llIetal-VVorking Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof.

My invention relates to a compound metalworking machine; and it consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts, as will be fully set forth hereinafter and subsequently claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section through a device embodying my present invention on the line indicated by 1 1 in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a horizontal longitudinal section on the line indicated by 2 2 in Fig. 1. Figs. 3 and 4 are transverse vertical sections on the lines indicated by 3 3 and 4. 4, respectively, in Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, A represents any suitable base or platform to which my machine may be secured, as by bolts a a, passing through the base proper, B. This latter consists, primarily, of parallel strips with longitudinal guiding-grooves Z) Z) formed in their pposing inner faces, and which strips are rigidly connected together by transverse bottom pieces 0 c, which are below the said grooves, except at one end, from which end there rises a standard 0, formed with a screw-threaded bore therethrou gh for the reception of a screwthreaded spindle D, having a hand-wheel F secured to its outer end and a collar d on its inner end. 7

E is an anvil whose sides c 6 rise from and are rigid with the parallel strips of the base B. These side pieces are each perforated with a lozenge-shaped opening f, two of the inclined walls of which are smooth and the other two toothed or notched, as shown.

G is a slide having reduced side edges g g, which fit within the described guidin g-grooves b b in the base B,and near one end this slide carries a vise-head H, integral or rigid therewith, the operative face of said vise-head having a V-shaped opening h, notched or toothed, as shown in Fig. 1, the wall of said opening being just the opposite of the notched or toothed portions of the walls of the openings f in the anvil sides 6.

The inner end of the heretofore-described screw-spindle D is shouldered and reduced in diameter and enters a longitudinal bore in the outer end of the said vise-head H and projects into a transverse opening 71 in said vise-head, and there receives the described collar CZ, whereby when the spindle D is revolved by its hand-wheel F the slide G is moved forward or back in the grooves b, according to the direction in which said handwheel is turned. I is a cutting-disk having a journal j rigid therewith, which revolves in standards or bearings rising from the slide G. The anvil sides 6 c are cut out at one end to receive a wooden block K, extending transversely from one side to the other to form a bearing-plate for articles being drilled, as

hereinafter explained.

Rising from the end of the slide G farthest from the vise-head is the drillstandard L, the front or inner part of which has a smooth longitudinal bore therethrough, and M is a shaft mounted therein, whose forward end is socketed for the reception of a drill 71;, the rear part m of said shaft being reduced in diameter and provided with a sleeve N, having exterior screw-threads meshing with the threads in the bore of a nut 01, rigid on the rear or outer part of the standard L. The said sleeve N has a hand-wheel O rigidly secured to its outer end, and theprojecting outer end of the reduced shaft m is squared and receives a crank P, all as shown in Fig. 1. The inner end of the standard L is formed into a straight transverse vise-head Q, the other face of the vise being the rear end 12 of the anvil E, and both faces being preferably smooth, except for a central vertical notch in each, as shown at q r,'respectively, for the purpose of better clamping a small article, such as a bolt or nail, between their opposing faces.

The operation of my machine will be read ily understood from the foregoing description of its construction, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

I have already described how the slide G is moved in either direction by means of the hand-wheel F and the parts connected there- ICO to. Then it is desired to use the vise-head H, the slide G is driven backward until the cutting-disk I is beyond the line of the openings ff in the anvil sides 6 6. Then the ar ticle to be clamped is inserted through said openings, and the backward movement of the slide is continued until said article is firmly clamped between the notched walls of said openings and the notched surface h of the vise-head. If it is desired to out a pipe, the same is pushed through the openings ff, and the slide G is moved forward until the cutting-disk 1 comes snugly against the pipe, forcing the latter against the smooth walls of the openings f f, as shown in Fig. 1, where the dotted circular lines R represent the pipe. Then the pipe is seized by a pipe-wrench and turned round against the edge of the cutting-disk I, If the smooth-faced vise is to be used, the drill 70 (or the wooden block K) is removed and the hand-wheel F operated to bring the vise-head Q, up against or toward the end 19 of the anvil. If the drill is to be used, the article to be drilled is held against the block K, and then the hand-wheel O is turned, which by the action of the screwthreaded sleeve N in the nut n forces the shaft M and drill is carried thereby forward till the drill-point is in contact with the article to be drilled, and then the crank P is operated quickly, drilling the required hole.

My described machine will be found extremely convenient, combining as it does a large number of iron-working tools in proximity to each other.

Having thus desoribedmy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A compound metal-working machine comprising a base having parallel guidinggrooves therein, a standard rising from one end of said base and having a screw-threaded bore therethrough, a longitudinal slide moving in said guiding-grooves, a rotary cut-- ting disk mounted upon said slide, a screwthreaded spindle passing through the bore of the standard on the base and connected with said slide, a standard rising from the other end of said slide and having its inner end formed into a straight transverse visehead, rigid with said slide and having a V- shaped, roughened, operative face on its inner end and provided with a transverse perforation communicating therewith through its outer end, through which the screw-spindle passes, the said screw-spindle being provided with a collar and hand-wheel, vertical side pieces rising from the base on each side of the slide having lozenge-shaped openings therethrough and united by an anviltop whose rear end forms a roughened, straight transverse face in line with the straight transverse vise-head on said slide-standard, a double standard rising from the rear end of the slide, the forward part of said standard having a smooth longitudinal bore therethrough, and the rear part of said standard having a longitudinal nut rigid thereon, the sleeve having exterior screw-threads meshing with the threads in the bore of said nut,

. the shaft whose forward end passes through the smooth bore in the forward part of the standard, socketed for the reception of a drill, and having its rear end reduced in diameter and passing through the bore of said sleeve, and a crank secured to the projecting end of the shaft, all combined, arranged and operating as hereinbefore set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at WVatertown, in the county of Jefferson and State of Vis- 'consin, in the presence of two witnesses.
